Pros

I had amazing coworkers and of course the kids! 2 of the only reasons I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

The management is awful. They talk down to the staff all the time yet expect them to do a lot of what is actually management's work. They'll give you so much grief for taking a day off because they are so understaffed they can't find people to cover for you even if you're sick. Show no sympathy for you or your family. They just care about you showing up to work and making money. They'll withhold checks from employees if they feel the need to. The turnover rate here is crazy. The teachers are why parents send their kids here, but none of the staff ever receives the respect they deserve. A lot of the teachers are much more qualified in their educational backgrounds than some of the management but are still talked to with a lot of disrespect and as if they're stupid.

Pros

I'm a current employee at Prodigy point and absolutely love it here! Everyone here cares for the children, respects and satisfies the needs of the children and their parents. I'm proud to say I work here because I couldn't say that before about many places I've worked for in the past. As a staff member I feel respected and i'm treated fairly. Whenever I asked for time off I have gotten that time and whenever I was sick and called out the next day when I would come in to work they have always asked me how I was feeling ? I feel appreciated here ! I also feel needed. The owner always has candy for the teachers in the resource room and we always get pizza or some kind of treat to show how much they respect and appreciate us .

Cons

I wish this school was opened on the weekends too.

Pros

The children were the ONLY reason why many of us stayed...

Cons

I was there for 6+ yrs..my coworkers were amazing and of course the kids! Management was HORRIBLE! She was so rude and cold hearted to people. All she cared about was her business and the amount of money that came in. Even the parents talked about how horrible she was but only stayed for the teachers. There is an extremely high turnover rate which is not good for the kids. Prek teachers are mostly consistent but all the others are not. The pay is horrible and they hardly ever give you a raise...they make you do so much extra work that is there job. Not a regular employee. They have no benefits and no insurance and will keep you part time to avoid having to help pay for anything. There were times when you would get paid on Friday and they would attach a note and ask you to not cash it until Tuesday because they had NO money. Management is beyond horrible. They lie and could careless about their staff or their staffs children. The more money they get from the parents the better....so horrible and unfair there. I DO NOT recommend it. Also do not try to obtain your CDA there because they lie to you, take your money and rip you off and you NEVER will complete it or receive it!
